    • at least your consistent gammalite. any time you see an inflated stake with a small field,you express the opinion its a good thing,while at the same time saying you see no problem with the plodders running in full fields for $6000 stakes. 1/3 of the races at ashburton are for 3 year olds and the field sizes range from 4-11. thats right,not one of the 3 year old races could get enough interest from the whole of nz to run anywhere near a full field and that was even considering they are paying $1000 for every starter just to turn up. they could very easily have come up with a concept with conditions that would have seen them get 12 full fields,but as usual they weren't smart enough to do so.Just dumb as really. and have you even bothered to see what the tab ff odds indicate as to the gap in abilities of those competeing. There are so many red hot favorites . The current prices of the favorites are  $1.50, 1.16 ,1.30, 1.70, 1.50, 2.15, 3.60, 2.10, 1.50,2.40, 1.10, 3.20. So half of the races will have favorites paying under $1.50 and 10 of the 12 favorites come from stables whose trainers are in the top 20 on the premiership.   Meanwhile we have another current thread about the stakes levels at methven. On that thread we have the methven man saying,well our club is the club that runs the races that generate the income to provide hrnz with the money to pay stakes. Then in the next breath hes saying,their stakes are low ,because thats all hrnz fund them. harness racing is an upside down world. As far as you saying well done ashburton. Whats ashburton got to do with whether it was a good or bad concept. They are simply the track hrnz decided would be used. Ashburton wouldn't be silly enough to use their own money to run a race meeting that will run at a huge loss financially for them.  Thats what happens in the north island,not the south.e.g. cambridge and their slot races.  
    • It is the future where there is a sound business case for it.
    • Well I've written to Leigh McKenzie requesting him to remove @Joe Bloggs aka @farnakler's posts that are lies and defamatory.  I've also warned McKenzie that if @Joe Bloggs wishes to pursue legal action then he will also be involved.  But you are right nothing has changed on that site. I've double checked @Joe Bloggs account on BOAY which he has publicly admitted is his account and the email address that belongs to that account has not been changed since the account was created by him on 7 October 2019.  So if his wife is receiving BOAY system generated emails that are sent each time his avatar is mentioned concerns her then she should take it up with @Joe Bloggs . It would also appear that the devices used on that account have remained consistent since that date.  As far as the threats of legal action and notifying NZTR are concerned well to say I find that amusing would be an understatement.  After this post I will remove his access that allows the receipt of system generated emails.
    • Many who play lotto would never bet on horses, reason, no massive pools to tempt people into bothering, wouldn't think lotto is a problem, 2 draws a week, 
    • Looks an amazing concept. Can'tbelieve that NZ has got such great people running the show , they came up with this idea to give the Grass Roots players a go at some Big cash? this is great how it's panned out.  The Very people (grass roots)  You and Brodie Call for all the time for the HRNZ to support instead of the Rich and famous at Auckland.? and yet you say it's a fail like every thing else?  . Well the Owners and Trainers racing on the day Won't agree with you either . Barely a Allstars, Cullen, Kentuckiana, TELFER , Dunn, Jones or Todd runner in sight. All your Grass Roots trainers Getting a BIG Go at Great money instead. Fantistico old mate.  Best of luck to Nigel with his Dunn runner though, and the many people Having a go at some $60,000 stakes. a very deserving man with his efforts for NZ harness racing. Well done Ashburton !! and well done HRNZ once again . for looking after Grass roots. ( the big guys all got to play Cup week and did well against the Aussies)  p.s Don't worry about the 4 horse field R1 so much . It's only One race cobber. You'll survive .😅  just congratulate the opportunity that Hanna, Negus, Twidle or Gameson on have to get a listed 3 yearold filly winner for themselves !! and their owners 🏆 this is just amazing 👍 and what you guys wanted not not long ago ?. Changed your mind it seems . Oh well. will be merry Christmas to those Ashburton anyway. BOAY will just have to 'weep' as usual 🤣
